Chapter 193: Divine Lord's Arrival

Burying the masses is a sword that bids the departed to rest.

Because this sword will bring peace to future generations!

When the Supreme Saints attack again, his figure vanishes on the spot,

At the edge of heaven and earth countless sword silhouettes coalesce, each sword different, each blade representing a departed soul.

He bears their will and unleashes this sword!

"Fall!"

With his light shout, ten thousand sword silhouettes descend and form a sword array.

The sword light spreads like a sea, engulfing the Supreme Saints of the three clans.

His realm reaches an entirely new height.

He formally steps into the Ninth Realm of the Human Qi Refinement Warrior System!

The chief hallmark of this realm is perceiving the true Dao, allowing free use of Law Power.

He names this realm — Great Vehicle Phase.

The moment he enters the Great Vehicle Phase, his perception of heaven, earth, and all things changes completely; this is a realm elevation, unlike the simple combat boost of the Forbidden Domain.

He looks toward a direction in the Heavenly Dome, where several pairs of eyes are watching him.

"Divine Lord!"

Upon entering the Great Vehicle Phase, he finally gains the right to confront the Divine Lord.

Human cultivators have always been the elite in the same realm; he and Sangyu have constantly maintained an invincible same‑realm status.

If the Divine Lord does not appear, he is invincible.

Moreover, this is still the Human Race's home ground.

No matter how many Supreme Saints arrive, the outcome cannot be altered.

This is his confidence!

The Burying the Masses sword has already slain more than ten Supreme Saints.

"So the Divine Lord finally has to act? How annoying, this feels a bit beyond my control,"

A sigh echoes through heaven and earth.

His hair stands on end, as if facing a great enemy.

Even after stepping into the Ninth Realm Great Vehicle Phase, he knows there is a definite gap between him and the Divine Lord's level.

And this gap cannot be completely erased by the Forbidden Domain.

Facing the Divine Lord at this moment reinforces his conviction.

"Human River, you are bold; this Lord admires you,"

"The Divine Lord is willing to give you another chance; hand over the Holy Light Seed and the Divine Lord will ensure the Human Race remains unharmed,"

"If you stubbornly resist, you will die, and the Human Race... will be annihilated!"

From high above, his tone is calm, without a hint of panic, as if everything is within the Divine Lord's foresight.

Even though he has broken through to the Ninth Realm, they do not seem to care much.

He sneers, "Since you are so confident, go ahead and destroy me; the Holy Light Seed is in my hand, waiting for you to take it!"

The Divine Lord on the Heavenly Dome says calmly:

"The existence of the Ancient God Clan has never been for slaughter,"

"The Human Race has developed to this point, enduring sufficient trials; we recognize the Human Race as the tenth Great Ancient God Clan,"

"Our war can cease now,"

The lives and deaths of countless peoples seem indifferent to the Divine Lords.

"Fine!"

He raises an eyebrow, "How about you give me three Holy Light Seeds, and the grudges between the clans end here, what say you?"

"Sigh"

The Divine Lord sighs, "Obstinate and unenlightened, as a child of the Ancient Gods, don't you wish to aid the Ancient Gods?"

"If you hand over the Holy Light Seed, the Divine Lord can petition our clan's Ancient Gods; once He is freed, He can safely return the Human Ancestor,"

"This is our greatest sincerity,"

The Divine Lord's aura expands majestically, covering the sky, making him feel immense pressure.

He still stands upright, teasing,

"If you give me the Holy Light Seed, I can also petition the Human Ancestor to have Him rescue your three clans' Ancient Gods, how about that?"

With those words, the Heavenly Dome falls into a brief silence.

Immediately, a terrifying aura spreads, thunder cracks, and a massive Five-Claw Golden Dragon appears within the clouds.

Its twin pupils, like Mortal Dust sun and moon, flash with divine light.

Divine Lord of the Dragon Clan! Longyi!

Finally revealed!

This is his first time confronting the Divine Lord; even though he has entered the Ninth Realm and is invincible in the same realm, his body tenses subconsciously before the Divine Lord's incomparable pressure.

He suddenly realizes his previous judgments were completely wrong.

The Divine Lord's power is incomparable to any past opponent.

If, during the Tribulation Transcendence Battle, the Divine Lord strikes without restraint, the Human Race would be annihilated; the Grand Array of mountains and rivers could not block the Divine Lord's power.

And at this moment, his heart is filled with relief.

All past events indicate the Divine Lord is bound by some restraint, each strike demanding a heavy price.

He gazes at the massive Five-Claw Golden Dragon, his eyes blazing.

"Let me guess, what is the price you pay to break the restriction on your attacks?"

"It should… come from the Ancient God."

"The price is that each time you strike, the hope of deducing a new Ancient God Path diminishes by one point, right?"

After all, there is a saying that circulates in the world.

The Ancient God Clan has never existed for slaughter, but to seek a new path to become an Ancient God.

Only things that affect the Ancient God Path are worth the Divine Lord's intervention.

For example… the First Auspicious Cloud in the world, the cloud baby that controls boundless Qi.

Or, for instance, the Perfect Body you and Sangyu previously possessed.

"You guess well."

Divine Lord of the Dragon Clan Longyi slapped down, "You guessed right, but your death has also come."

Boom!

A massive claw tore the sky, and in an instant pressed down on your head like a mountain; you raised your sword to the heavens, slashing out continuous sword Qi to confront it.

But you still couldn't withstand that terrifying colossal force.

Dragon Clan Divine Lord Longyi's Physical Body is fully merged with the laws; with only the purest power, it can shatter all laws.

Puff!

You were struck by a palm, your body plummeting rapidly and crashing onto the formation wall.

The Divine Lord truly lives up to the name.

You wiped the blood from the corner of your mouth, continuously maintaining the Forbidden Domain state; this is the first time you felt helpless in battle.

It seems you've exhausted your tactics, yet still have little hope of victory.

But your goal is not to defeat the Divine Lord, but to stall him, creating an opportunity for Sangyu and the Empress to steal the Holy Light Seed.

The restrictions on the Divine Lord should be heavily linked to the Ancient God's anomaly; you conclude that the Divine Lord dares not grapple with you to the death.

As long as you block this wave of attack, it will be victory for you.

…

Nine-phase World, Tian Yuan Zhou.

Ling Shen Dian.

Tu Shan Jiao Jiao sits upon the main seat of the great hall, with the senior Clan Elders of the Spirit Clan's Tian Yuan branch seated beneath.

No one expected that, with Second Ancestor Ye Xue missing and Second Ancestor Yue Ming in seclusion, the Tushan Ancestor who vanished three thousand years ago would return!

Tu Shan Jiao Jiao now wears a helpless expression.

I came back to support my big brother Yue Ming, so why are you putting me on such a high pedestal?
